3 Description

The TPS20xxE power-distribution switch family is

intended for applications, such as USB, where heavy

capacitive loads and short circuits are likely to be

encountered. This family offers multiple devices with

fixed current-limit thresholds for applications from 1.5

A to 2 A.

The TPS20xxE family limits the output current to a

safe level by operating in a constant-current mode

when the output load exceeds the current limit

threshold. This provides a predictable fault current

under all conditions. The fast overload response

time eases the burden on the 3.3-V–5.5-V supply to

provide regulated power when the output is shorted.

The power-switch rise and fall times are controlled to

minimize current surges during turnon and turnoff.
